About Us

The Nanuet Public Library was founded in 1894 and serves the residents of the Nanuet Union Free School District, and the greater Ramapo Catskill Library Sytem.

Mission and Vision Statement

Our vision is a vibrant, informed, cohesive, and empowered society. Accordingly, the Library seeks to achieve its mission and vision by: (a) selecting, collecting, organizing, and preserving the records of human experience, knowledge, ideas, culture, and entertainment; (b) making such materials and resources widely accessible through diverse formats and the latest information technologies; (c) providing superior, high quality service; and (d) creating a welcoming and comfortable physical, intellectual, and virtual environment for all, inclusive of cultural diversity and free from discrimination.

Borrowing Policy

– The Nanuet Public Library is a member of the Ramapo Catskill Library System (RCLS), a cooperative system of libraries in Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, and lower Ulster Counties. You can use our library card to borrow materials in any library in RCLS. However, each library is an independent institution with its own policies and borrowing rules, which must be observed in each location. Some item types, such as devices or museum passes, maybe restricted to a library district’s residents.
– You must have your valid library card or a photo ID with you, or have your library card stored on your mobile device to borrow library items.
– You are responsible for all items borrowed on your library card.
– Privileges will be denied if you have 3 (three) items claimed returned, or $10 in fines and/or fees.
– Items may be renewed twice if not on reserve or otherwise limited.
– Items with accompanying materials (such as instructions, pamphlet, map, etc.) must be returned with all parts intact.
– If an item is lost or damaged and a replacement fee is charged, the library will not accept a replacement item in lieu of payment of the replacement fee.
